The Basics

WARNING!

To avoid damage to your phone's port and cable plug, orient the plug with the port

before inserting it.

NOTE

Do not open the back cover while your phone is charging.

NOTE

Only use approved charging accessories to charge your LG phone. Improper handling of

the USB/Charging Port, as well as the use of an incompatible charger, may cause

damage to your phone and void the warranty.

Optimizing Battery Life

Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you
don't need to have running constantly in the background.

Extending your phone's battery life:

 Reduce the screen brightness setting and set a shorter screen timeout.
 Turn off radio communications (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc.) that

you're not actively using.

 Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other apps.
 Monitor the battery use screen to identify if apps you've downloaded are

consuming a large percentage of your battery power.

NOTE

Allowing other devices to use your phone's hotspot connection will also drain your

battery more quickly.

To check the battery power level:

 From the Home screen, tap the Menu key

> Settings > About

phone > Battery.

The battery status (charging or discharging) and battery level (percentage

charged) are displayed.

To monitor and control how battery power is being used:

 From the Home screen, tap the Menu key

> Settings > About

phone > Battery > Battery use.

A battery usage graph is displayed along with battery usage time,

estimated time remaining, and last 3 hours usage. The screen also lists
the apps or services using battery power, listed in order from the
greatest to the least amount used.
